Example of vanishing Add Comment popup.

Adding comments to a sheet in LOOL 6.4 (in its CODE 6.4 incarnation) is basically impossible, as the comment popup will just close in the middle of typing suddenly, causing you to overwrite the cell's contents where you wanted to add the comment... :-/


Also see attached animated GIF:

I was the only one editing this (nearly empty) sheet.

The first time I opened it, it closed nearly immediately without me pressing any keyboard button.

The second time I mispositioned it so it wasn't visible, so I closed if by clicking "Cancel".

The third time I just entered text and didn't press ESC and didn't click anywhere. You can see the dialog suddenly just vanishes while typing, overwriting the cell's contents.


This makes editing comments in LOOL Calc basically impossible at the moment...

Is there anything to do for me, or who has to comment?
Comment 3 Gunter Ohrner 2020-11-24 12:01:37 UTC
Still occurs in CODE 6.4.1.

Also reported at https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/757 , as it makes comments unusable in Calc online at the moment.

Since this bug was filed against CODE, let's keep the github issue open, and close this.
